Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libpam-runtime

There is no pam-auth-update profile for pam_group.so

This makes it very difficult to actually make use of pam_group.so
because even if I add it to /etc/pam.d/common-auth I cannot make use of
pam-auth-update any more. This means that instead of relying on pam-
auth-update to manage my PAM stack I will have to do it all manually
once I start using pam_group.so

IMHO pam-auth-update is a great invention and I hope that it will soon
become the standard tool for this task. However, a logical consequence
of inventing pam-auth-update is in my opinion to supply profiles for
common PAM modules.

I therefore would like to suggest to break out pam_group.so from libpam-
runtime into a package of its own (libpam-group) which would bring the
PAM module and the corresponding pam-auth-update profile.

A user wishing to use pam_group.so would then be able to simply install
libpam-group and have the pam_group.so module enabled automatically
through pam-auth-update in the postinst script of libpam-group.
